"Sometimes the best vote is one not cast". It's official Mr. Herbkersman, you're just another politician. You were there but you couldn't vote For or Against the Port Bill. You're in favor of the Port and you support Jasper County in their efforts to bring the Port to this underdeveloped area, but when it came time to vote and all their representatives (along with others) voted against the Bill, you decided to have it BOTH ways. After all, it was obvious that the Bill would pass --- oh yeah, great excuse.

Yellow Jacket has dug a new shallow pond out front for the dogs to enjoy this summer. We're lining it to keep it from being a mudhole but I have no illusions about pretty things like lilly pads. A nice big weeping willow might stand a chance of surviving and would look very pretty out there.

One side of the pond will be in full sun, the other has light shade from tall pines. Which would suit the willow tree best?

Should we pierce the pond liner near the tree?

How long would one of the 6' trees for sale at Wal-Mart take to bush out? The trunks are the thickness of my middle finger. They are less than $20 but I'm too old to be waiting a decade for results!
